Erik Thomson is George Turning on 800 Words

The Australian comedy-drama 800 Words continues on WITF.  We have been enjoying a replay of season 1 this winter.

Recently widowed Sydney newspaper columnist George Turner (Erik Thomson) sets out to make a fresh start with his teenage children by moving to the tiny New Zealand town where he vacationed as a child.

Though the family has become more accepted by the locals, in season 2 of 800 Words there are still plenty of problems for George to face, including finding a real job and, potentially, new love.

800 Words broadcasts on WITF Saturday nights beginning at 9:00 PM with back-to-back episodes through February 15.  This program is not available on-demand through our website or the PBS Video app.

A collection of interviews, photos, and music videos, featuring local musicians who have stopped by the WITF performance studio to share a little discussion and sound. Produced by WITF’s Joe Ulrich.
